- Front-end vols were pressed lower yesterday with BTC now well under 50% and ETH under 60%.
- We find this move lower in vols unusual ahead of an important NFP number. A miss here would likely see the market price in a higher probability of Fed rate cuts in June or July - a very bullish catalyst.
- Yesterday's rate cuts by Canada and ECB will also increase pressure on the Fed to cut rates.
Trade Idea: With lower vols just ahead of a potential catalyst event, buying June Digital Calls could deliver outsize returns.
